The slides could be put 3 inches apart, and the erg feet put into both of the back slots on the slides.

Then the length needed for the B would be the same as for the others.

Provided that this worked okay but it should.

Update:

I moved the slides 2.75 inches apart, with the erg on the back slots.

Will try this out in the morning.
That should work, I've even put the slides right next to each other (0 spacing) when setting up for a B and all was well. Only tried that because it was a very simple set-up guaranteeing square and aligned slides, the trivial extra bungee tension seemed to balance right out.

The danger with the B is that if one wasn't paying attention it could easily knock a hole in sheetrock if the slides were close enough to a wall to let it reach. The RowPerfect has this issue, it will sit in a smaller space, but still needs room to work, though the new prototype needs a bit less than the original.
Erg on,
